Key Concepts
Ways to Change Object's Motion
100

An event or process that leads to a result or change.

What is cause?

100

To reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning.

What is inferring?

100

A variable that is required to change the velocity of an object.

What is a force? 

100

An increase in velocity from not moving to moving in a particular direction.

What is starting to move?

200

A result or change that happens because of an event or process. 

What is effect?

200

Speed in a particular direction.

What is velocity?

200

The variable that can cause a greater change in velocity.

What is a stronger force?

200

An increase in velocity from moving to moving to a greater velocity.

What is speeding up?

300

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

What is a force?

300

To apply a force. 

What is exerting?

300

The concept of how an object's velocity changes depends on. 

What is the direction of the force exerted on the object?

300

A decrease in velocity from moving to moving to a lesser velocity.

What is slowing down?

400

A force between an object and the surface it is moving over. 

What is friction?

400

The speed in an object after the exertion of a force. 

What is object's velocity change?

400

The concept that can help you infer what led to a particular result.

What is understanding a cause-and-effect relationship?

400

A decrease in velocity from moving in a particular direction to not moving.

What is to stop moving?

500

The variable in an experiment that is purposefully changed to cause a reaction in the dependent variable.

What is an independent variable?

500

The variable in an experiment that is dependent on the change in the independent variable. 

What is a dependent variable?

500

The concept that something doesn't change unless a force is used. 

What is an object's motion?

500

A redirection of velocity. 

What is to move in a different direction?
